First off because the word communism scares certain regardless of context (not naming any groups in particular) I will specify that I am not talking about the near future but the far future.

In the modern world the reason capitalism has worked so well is because there is a finite amount of resources in the world and capitalism is a system that forces people to compete for those finite resources which forces people to innovate in order to continue receiving those resources.

Now the reason communism in the 20th century collapsed was because since resources are so finite there was no way to properly divide all of their resources between everyone. This combined communist countries falling behind capitalist country economically because of a lack of competition lead innovation led to the fall of communism.

But recently I had a thought that was sparked when I was listening to an episode of the podcast Hello internet. In the episode I was listening too they were talking about self-driving cars and the possibility of a drastic increase in the amount of automation in the workforce leading to us being able to create a lot more with a lot fewer workers. They then went on to talk about what to do about all the people who will lose their jobs over this. Then there was one term that got me thinking, and that term was a post scarcity society.

This term means a society that has advanced to the point where resources are no longer finite. And I just kept thinking about the industrial revolution and how drastically resource production increased in such a short amount of time. This makes me think that maybe humans will reach this post scarcity world withing 500 years through automation and technological advancement. And if there is no shortage of resources that are easily accessible why would anyone want to work, let alone do hard labour? Humans might leave not only the labour force but also the workforce altogether. Leading to a weird form of communism where everyone is economically equal.

If you want want to imagine what I mean here think of the movie Wall-E. No humans work in that movie yet everyone seems to have everything in abundance and economic equality. That is what I mean by is Communism inevitable.

What do you guys think about this? I haven't been able to get this out of my mind for a while so I thought I would see what the people here thought about this.
